The molality of the copper(II) chloride (CuCl₂) solution is 0.081 mol/kg
Molality
Molality is a measure of the number of moles of solute in a solution corresponding to 1 kg or 1000 g of solvent
First, we will determine the number of moles of CuCl₂ present
Using the formula,
[tex]Number\ of\ moles = \frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}[/tex]
Mass of CuCl₂ = 27.2 g
Molar mass of CuCl₂ = 134.45 g/mol
∴ Number of moles of CuCl₂ present = [tex]\frac{27.2}{134.45 }[/tex]
Number of moles of CuCl₂ present = 0.2023 mole
Now, for the molality of the solution
Volume of solvent (water) = 2.50 L
Since the density of water = 1kg/L
Then, mass of the solvent (water) = 2.50 kg
[tex]Molality = \frac{Number\ of\ moles}{Mass\ of\ solvent}[/tex]
∴ Molality of the solution = [tex]\frac{0.2023}{2.50}[/tex]
Molality of the solution = 0.081 mol/kg
Hence, the molality of the solution is 0.081 mol/kg
